This show is fairly strange in that it needs more characters to give a poo poo about and less characters: Karen’s arc was functionally done, and it made zero sense to really continue it to the extent that it had been in the third season. The Stevens kids didn’t really need to be included; Danny’s reveal he’s just been living as Shane would be a decent pre-launch reveal for Ed before Danny gets left on Earth. Jimmy is a loving dunce and the OKC bomb plot is extremely half baked to tie into the space program rather than out of work people at large. Sally Ride and Opie would have been a perfect addition to one of the crews but go unused. Soviets remain semi opaque pastiches of human being; the lack of any real viewpoints of the Soviet program makes any characterization come across as fairly mustache twirling. China somehow remains nonexistent while having a ICBM program but North Korea takes the gold medal (huge what, although it’s possible the lack of Nixon’s second term causes the PRC to remain isolated and the ROC to still be on the UNSC). The moon and LEO are barely settings or events. Honestly the real shark jump is Karen in season 2 and the science of 1 (to a lesser extent 2) has been replaced with melodrama. It’s less about doing something novel than it is trying to unfuck something that wouldn’t have been broken if the space race wasn’t still mostly dudes with a Johnson Space Complex in their pants
